Perhaps the largest Lavatera arborea (syn.) in Wirral?:
This is my first post. I'm always on the lookout for plants that grab my attention, and this Lavatera was one of those! I've seen this species growing all over the coast in Wirral, but never this big. This is clearly a perennial, meaning its habitat must be favourably mild and dry. The habitat is rather remarkable, more akin to something you might find in the Canary Islands. This one was located just before you get to Heswall Beach from the direction of Parkgate.
